hey please tell me the difference betn Q6600 and Q6600 G0 stepping . are there any performance increments? what if i get the old stepping?

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

old stepping (b3) runs 10-15c hotter than g0 stepping and 10c is a huge temperature difference.So make sure it is g0 stepping before making purchase.

 

[assasin]

get the Q6600 G0.its a gr8 proccy.overclocks well and performance is damn good for the price.

 

[codename_romeo]

AMD.....definitely, read sometime back that this black edition is a super over clocker

 

[assasin]

^^^^ the X2 6000+ is nowhere near the Q6600 in terms of raw performance.

 

[j1n M@tt]

Go for X2 6000+ 'n' feel d power of black........Q6600 is not so gud @ overclocking. Less performer compared 2 dual cores

 

[deathvirus_me]

^^ u serious ??

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^he's just kidding.lols.they have no idea what they are talking about.

u gotta be joking man.Q6600 G0 stepping is one hell of a overclocker.

as far as performance is concerned,dual cores perform better than it only in apps which r not optimised for quad cores.
give it apps which support quads and see the performance.

Stay away from AMD, I have personaly experience the loss by deciding to go with AMD and then resell within 15 days at half the price

I have 2 AMD machines now till and haven't had a single complain, I think they are great VFM, atleast in the low priced segment. Here though I think Q6600 will be better cos they are more future proof and support for quad cores will only get better.

 

[Tech_Wiz]

I too had no issues with AMD whatsoever.

Btw Price Performance wise Q6600 Cost and X2 6000+ Cost?

Pure performance Q6600 will win hands down
